Patch for DNS bug?
Lately, I've been hearing noise about a DNS bug.
Even more lately, I've heard that an exploit is in the wild.
Kaminsky says (on his blog):
"Patch. Today. Now. Yes, stay late."
So, for those of us who're running OSE 5, is there/will there
be, a patch?

Is there anyone using BIND as a catching DNS server in OpenServer 5?

All of our DNS is djbdns running on Linux or FreeBSD. I've never
been able to get daemontools running on OpenServer 5.0.6a.
We have not run BIND (Buggy Internet Name Daemon) for years,
saving lots of time doing security updates.
